Bounty (TV Pilot) -- Top 1% of discoverable screenplays on Coverfly

There's still time to massage it a bit, but submit it. Even if you take a licking, you'll be halfway to reaching your goal. And who knows, SS might close next month, and then what will you do?

Sometimes those are the most entertaining scripts!

There is plenty of time left.  I still haven't even opened up my screenwriting software.  I hope to soon, but it won't be for several hours at best.

ok, been a while but I think I'm get in under the wire on this one.


I'd list my "work" here, but I don't know how to hyperlink.  

"Career" Highlights
-2, count em, 2 credits on my IMDB page.  
-One time a fairly prominent producer e-mailed me back.  
-I have made more than $1000 with my writing!
-I've won 2 mugs... and a thong.  (polaroids of me in thong available for $10 through PM)

Don' t worry. My entry will totally have your back. I started reading it and wondered what I was trying to say there.

Good, Xavier, can't wait to read it.

As to my entry - man, it's "and something red". Overlooked that part. What if I have red roses, will that count?

You could use Cadbury's Roses.

Chocolates called roses packaged in blue & red.  Time saver.

I think a bunch of nice writers will call me a cheater. Writers are no pussycats you know. Or are they.

I may or may not be out. I have a concept that meets all criteria for the challenge and a pile of notes. It's still got issues, and I expect the lack of time remaining may hurt the execution. The script will be written regardless, and I plan on posting a polished version at a later date if I miss the deadline. I also plan on reviewing entries whether or not I enter myself.
